It is all to overexposed in my eyes.

I like the overall effect of your processing. The pine cones come over very well with this technique.

For me, the highlights are too 'high'. Interesting composition and choice of subject. Overall it's a 5 because of two major distracting elements: the twigs going everywhere and the highlights.

I'm not a fan of borders but in this case, it works. What doesn't is that the tree is lost in the photo. Maybe I'd like it more in color.

Very busy composition. Lighting with the blownout higlights hurts rather than helps.

A good idea, but it looks oversaturated.

Looks a little oversharpened to me.....

I like high contrast, but this is a little too much for this composition. It makes it quite unrecognizable. I like the composition and wouldn't change that, but maybe I'd change the contrast a bit.
